@cardinalrlburke Chapter 7 of the Rule of St Benedict: “Divine Scripture calls out to us brothers saying, ‘Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted’.” In your pride you told others the vaccine was evil. I pray that you recover and heed God’s message.

@Micylaaa You have clearly not been to Pretoria yet or not in a while then.

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@VerityMBruce That tongue though… 😂

Hey @Mango, one of your customers must be bitterly disappointed as Evri mistakenly delivered their parcel to me. I’ve tried to contact Evri to pass it to your customer, but they are no help. Perhaps you can help your customer? Word of advice though, don’t use Evri for deliveries

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

Hey @elonmusk, just so we’re clear, I’ll asking the EU Commission about the legality of these arbitrary restrictions. In the meantime, word of advice, don’t be a poes. On second thought, it may be too late for that. In the meantime, good to see you hanging with other knobs.

You do realise that we’ve all been paying our bills for incredibly shitty to nonexistent service? For two years? Sort it out!

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

Hey @O2, is this the real reason why I’ve been unable to get signal for two years now? Because the council blocked the new tower? Why could you not say this instead of bullshitting myself and everybody else in Exeter for the last two years?

@FootballAssoc Have some fucking balls!!!

@DerLydia Honestly, that’s fine and there’s nothing wrong with that. I never actually attacked Afrikaans as a language. I was addressing what Theron had said and I made the point that it’s unfortunate that it has always been attached to politics from the beginning. Not the language’s fault

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

1.) Finally read up on #CharlizeTheron’s comments on Afrikaans. The thing is, having grown up in Pretoria myself, I would say her opinion is not an uncommon one. Many of my Afrikaans peers and friends harboured the same opinion, if only privately, and I think…

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@conraadx You talking about yourself there chom? Because you sound triggered. Educated too. Take care now. 🫡

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@Charlot40731317 Yeah, I saw that last night actually. I’m really happy for her and i really hope it works out.

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@Charlot40731317 I love you to pieces. I really do. But 🤦🏻‍♂️😉😊 Either way, it’s still better than being led by Boris Johnson or Jacob Zuma. At least with Musk, we know that money is decidedly *not* the motivation here.

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@Charlot40731317 I know we disagree on this and i’m only criticising him. My personal opinion is that his success at Tesla and SpaceX has gone to his head and he drank the Kool-Aid. If you or I attempted the same businesses practises, we’d be toast.

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@Charlot40731317 You can’t fire half your workforce and then scramble to rehire many of them when you find out they were actually critical to product design, including the stuff he’s trying to push through. It says, I have no idea what I’m doing. This is not a small-scale start-up.

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@Charlot40731317 No, he really doesn’t. The one company that came through is Tesla, but SpaceX? Subsidised. The Boring Company? No product. Neuralink? No product. The dude is all hype. This is not an issue of micro-managing. He literally doesn’t have a plan and is making it up as he goes along.

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@Charlot40731317 Dude, a burning house is exciting. That doesn’t make it good. This platform will not survive. I’m not saying that as some sort of shill, but observe Musk’s business practices, especially here, and it’s like he’s purposely trying to burn it all down. Would you work for him?

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@Charlot40731317 I can

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@Charlot40731317 @2frost2furious @cpt_depression_ @dramadelinquent @elonmusk Yes and no. What I would say is that, like the schools it is based on here in England, specifically Harrow and it’s great rival Eton, that environment can encourage the worst in young boys and men. I mean, just look at Twitter and the arrogance that is burning it to the ground.

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@Charlot40731317 @2frost2furious @cpt_depression_ @dramadelinquent Gave my thoughts now that I read it. @elonmusk could actually confirm as he too went to Pretoria Boys High. He’ll know what I mean.

[Ricardo Caldeira 🇵🇹🇿🇦 @lostmedievalist]

@Charlot40731317 @2frost2furious @cpt_depression_ @dramadelinquent What exactly did she say? Missed this owing due to my stupidity bandwidth already being maxed out by morons on this side.
